Abstract

Background: Sectio caesarean (SC) is increasingly common, with significant challenges for breastfeeding due to factors like postoperative pain and mobility limitations. Proper breast care can support milk production, yet many mothers lack adequate knowledge about its importance and techniques. Understanding the relationship between breast care knowledge and breastfeeding outcomes in post-SC mothers is critical to improving maternal and child health. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between breast care knowledge and smooth breast milk production among post-SC mothers. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 30 post-SC mothers at Ibunda Mother and Child Hospitals, Tanah Laut, from September to November 2023. Participants were selected through accidental sampling. Data on breast care knowledge and milk production were collected using validated instruments and analyzed using chi-square tests. Results: Most respondents had sufficient breast care knowledge (73%), and 90% reported smooth breast milk production. However, no significant association was found between breast care knowledge and milk production (p = 0.78). This indicates that while knowledge is vital, other factors such as psychological and physiological conditions also play a role. Conclusion: Although most participants demonstrated good knowledge and milk production, this study highlights that breastfeeding success is multifactorial, requiring holistic approaches that address physical, psychological, and social dimensions. Integrating education with practical support could enhance breastfeeding outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Labor accompanied by pain reaches 90% of events; however, in developed countries, around 7-14% give birth without pain. Several attempts were made through non-pharmacological methods, including warm compresses and a birthing ball, to reduce anxiety into the active phase of the first stage of labor. Objective: This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of warm compresses and birthing balls on the anxiety scale of women in labor during the active phase I. Methods: This quasi-experimental study involved 30 primiparous women and multiparas with a gestational age of 36-40 weeks in the third trimester. Maternity mothers were divided into two groups. The first group obtained warm compresses, while the second group received warm compresses and birthing balls. The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) was used before and after the intervention to measure labor pain. Results: The independent t-test showed that warm compresses combined with the birthing ball were more effective in reducing anxiety levels than just warm compresses (p-value 0.030<0.05). The average score of respondents' anxiety after being given a warm compress was 48.60, and the average score of respondents' anxiety after being given a warm compress and birthing ball was 42.87. Conclusion: The non-pharmacological method of using warm compresses with the birthing ball considerably reduces women's anxiety level in labor in the first active phase compared to only the single method of wUsarm compresses.

Abstract

Background: Giving breast milk to babies is the best method of feeding. Exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Midwife Mandiri Midwife Independent Practice is still below the target; this can be caused by insufficient milk production. Asitri oil is a substance that can increase milk production, which is found in Asitri oil in turmeric and kencur Objective: Testing the effect of giving Jamu Turmeric and Kencur on increasing the volume of breast milk in postpartum women in the working area of the North Tapin Health Center. Methods: The type of research used in this study is quasi-experimental research. The sample consisted of 10 people divided into 2 (intervention and control groups). The intervention group was given turmeric and kencur therapy once a day, while the control group did not receive therapy. The analysis bivariate was performed bivariate analysis using a paired t-test. Results: Bivariate analysis based on age showed that all ten respondents (100%) were in the non-risk age range, namely 22 to 32 years. Based on postpartum days, most respondents from the two groups were on the third day with a total of 5 people, which was a percentage of 50%—tested data normal distribution. The results of the bivariate analysis showed a p-value of 0.000 which means less than an α value of 0.05 so that there was an effect of giving turmeric and kencur herbs on the smoothness of breastfeeding in postpartum mothers in the working area of the North Tapin Health Center. Conclusion: There was an increase in the volume of breast milk after being given turmeric and kencur herbs as big 120 ml during seven days, and the administration of turmeric and kencur herbs was effective in increasing the volume of breast milk in postpartum women in the working area of the Tapin Utara Health Center, Tapin Regency.

Abstract

Background: The duration of the second stage of labor is a stage of risk for the well-being of the fetus. The average time limit for the second stage in primiparas is less than two hours; in multigravidas, it is less than one hour. Several techniques developed non-pharmacologically are intended to shorten the duration of labor and minimise complications in the mother and fetus. Objective: To analyse the effect of the warm compress technique with a combination of warm compress and breathing techniques on the duration of the second stage of labor. Methods: This type of research is done through two measurements, including experiments and observations. The number of samples is 20 women in stage II. Samples were divided into two groups. The control group consisted of 10 people using warm compresses, while the experimental group of 10 people was given warm compresses and breathing techniques. Labor pain instruments use the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Results: The results of paired differents showed that there was an effect of giving warm compresses combined with breathing technique in adapting labor pain (p-value 0.000<0.05) compared to only warm compresses (p-value 0.0965). Moreover, for the findings of equal means, the experimental group's pain scale was lower than the control group (p-value 0.000<0.05). Meanwhile, the results of the Pearson correlation obtained the value of Sig. (0.041), the variable stage I pain scale and stage II duration correlate significantly. Conclusion: Non-pharmacological techniques with warm compresses and breathing techniques affect a low pain scale. And also a significant correlation between the two variables, namely the pain of the first stage and the duration of the second stage.

Abstract

Background: The active phase of the first stage of labor creates unpleasant conditions due to sensory and emotional experiences from the interaction of physiological and psychological processes. Labor pain coincides with maternal adaptation to pain. Labor pain results in uncoordinated uterine contractions, which results in a prolonged duration of the first stage of labor and impaired fetal well-being. Objective: This study aims to describe the application of a breathing technique model combined with warm compresses as an adaptation therapy for active phase I labor pain. Methods: Selected articles within five years, from 2017 to 2021. Initial research search results on the topic included 150 articles from PubMed and Google Scholar, keyword PICOS(T). The final selection stage was based on the inclusion criteria of 23 articles and eliminating the outer domains of the nine articles. Article covering JBI's critical assessment and synthesised a total of fourteen. Results: The findings of fourteen articles showed the average difference in pain scale and intensity before and after treatment. In addition to pain intensity, the results also show that pain can be adapted through these two methods, and provides a sense of comfort, reduces anxiety, and increases relaxation, especially in primigravid women. Conclusion: Obstacles appear in the phase and if the woman is in an abnormal pregnancy condition. Skilled attendants and family social support were accommodating in the success of this experiment. Practical implications and recommendations are needed to consider the length of treatment time and materials for compressed bottles of rubber or glass bottles.

Abstract

Background: Unmet need for family planning remains a significant public health issue, particularly in regions with high population growth and stunting prevalence. Tapin Regency in South Kalimantan Province experiences challenges in achieving family planning targets, with unmet need contributing to elevated fertility rates and population growth. Objective:  This study aims to analyze the unmet need for family planning among fertile age couples in stunting locus sub-districts of Tapin Regency, focusing on the distribution of unmet need for spacing and limiting, and identifying potential areas for targeted intervention. Method:  A descriptive survey design was employed using secondary data from the PK-21 (Pendataan Keluarga 2021 [En: Family Cencus – 2021]) database provided by the National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN). The study analyzed data from 12 sub-districts identified as stunting loci in Tapin Regency. The data included total unmet need, unmet need for spacing, and unmet need for limiting, which were quantitatively processed and presented as percentages. Results:  The analysis revealed that the total unmet need in Tapin Regency reached 9.5%. The unmet need for limiting (65.1%) was significantly higher than for spacing (34.8%). Among the sub-districts, Binuang recorded the highest total unmet need (19.2%), while South Candi Laras had the lowest (3.5%). Sub-districts with higher unmet need were found to have greater challenges in family planning program implementation, necessitating targeted interventions. Conclusion: Unmet need for limiting dominates the family planning challenges in Tapin Regency, particularly in sub-districts with high fertility rates. Addressing these unmet needs requires tailored strategies, including enhancing awareness, accessibility, and cultural sensitivity of family planning programs.

Abstract

Background: Stunng, a chronic nutrional issue among toddlers, connues to be a global and naonal public health concern. It reflects the cumulave effects of inadequate nutrion and poor parenng pracces. Millennial parenng styles and dietary habits play a pivotal role in influencing stunng outcomes, parcularly in regions like Banjarmasin, Indonesia. Objective: This study aims to analyze the correlaon between millennial parenng styles, dietary paerns, and stunng incidence among toddlers in the Pekauman Health Center area. Methods: A cross-seconal study was conducted in May 2024 involving 127 toddlers aged 2–5 years and their parents. Data were collected using height measurements and validated quesonnaires on parenng styles and dietary pracces. Chi-square tests were employed to analyze relaonships, with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: The study revealed that 64.6% of toddlers were stunted. Among parents, 61.4% exhibited a "less" effecve parenng style, and 61.4% provided diets that did not meet nutrional recommendaons. Significant associaons were found between parenng styles,dietary paerns, and stunng incidence (p < 0.001). Poor parenng pracces and inadequate diets were idenfied as crical factors contribung to stunng. Conclusion: Millennial parenng styles and dietary pracces significantly influence stunng incidence. Intervenons to improve parental knowledge and dietary pracces are essenal for addressing stunng in toddlers. Future research should explore innovave strategies, including digital plaorms, to enhance parental engagement and nutrion educaon

Abstract

Background: Anemia in pregnancy is a major global health issue, affecting maternal and fetal outcomes. It is often caused by iron deficiency due to increased physiological demands and inadequate nutritional intake. Dietary interventions, including consuming dates (Phoenix dactylifera), are gaining attention as complementary strategies to address this issue. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of consuming dates in improving hemoglobin levels among pregnant women with anemia. Method: A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pre-test and post-test design was conducted. Twenty-two anemic pregnant women from the Tanjung Aru Public Health Center participated, consuming seven tamr dates (approximately 100 g) daily for 14 days. Hemoglobin levels were measured pre- and post-intervention using the Point of Care Testing (POCT) method. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests to determine statistical significance. Results: Before the intervention, 68.2% of participants had mild anemia, and 31.8% had moderate anemia, with no cases of normal hemoglobin levels. Post-intervention, 45.4% of participants achieved normal hemoglobin levels, while cases of mild and moderate anemia decreased to 36.4% and 18.2%, respectively. The mean hemoglobin level increased significantly from 13.81 g/dL pre-intervention to 14.62 g/dL post-intervention (p = 0.013). Conclusion: Consuming dates effectively improved hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia, offering a promising, culturally appropriate dietary intervention. Further research with larger populations is recommended to validate these findings and explore long-term outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Perineal rupture is a common complication during the second stage of labor, particularly among primiparous women, leading to maternal morbidity. Warm compresses have been suggested as an intervention to reduce perineal rupture by promoting muscle relaxation and elasticity. However, their effectiveness remains inconclusive. Objective:   To analyze the effect of warm compress application on the incidence of perineal rupture during the second stage of labor in primiparous women. Method:  This quasi-experimental study employed a pre-test and post-test design involving 10 primiparous women at 18 to 29 years old divided into intervention (n=5) and control (n=5) groups. Warm compresses were applied for 20 minutes during the second stage of labor in the intervention group. Data were collected using partograph sheets and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, with a significance level of p<0.05. Result:  Among the intervention group, 40% experienced no laceration, 20% had first-degree laceration, and 40% had second-degree laceration. In the control group, 40% had no laceration, and 60% suffered second-degree laceration. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference in the incidence of perineal rupture between the groups (p=0.452). Conclusion:  Warm compresses did not significantly reduce the incidence of perineal rupture during the second stage of labor. Further research with a larger sample size and broader variables is recommended to validate these findings.
